Adding New BBcode Tags

glenflet Joined: May 2008 Posts: 16 Location: Gosford	Adding New BBcode Tags Ok now that I've got my code 2 html BBcode working, I would like to try adding some whole new BBcode tags, to use a few Java functions for some cool text effects. Could some one explain what I need to do to define new BBcode tags.

I had a look there, but could find any thing about how to add the new tags.

Can you provide a direct link to the topic please.

Edit: I would also like to replace phpBB3 BBcode, with Icy Phoenix BBcode, as phpBB 3 is to hard to modify to my own needs, any suggestions on how I should go about this?

Inactive User	Re: Adding New BBcode Tags You're right mate, difficult to locate for the uninitiated. There's a lot of work being done on docs now - but that's not going to help short-term. Though this should help. hp://*.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic...&p=29850#p29850

Re: Adding New BBcode Tags

I had a look at that topic, but I don't see how that tells, me how to add ne BBcode tags.

I've got some javascript I want to use with BBcode.

i.e.

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<script language="javascript">

var text = "Hello World!"

var speed = 80

rainbow()

</script>

Where the BBcode would be

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

[rainbow speed=80]Hello World![/rainbow]

i.e.

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

<script language="javascript">

var text = "Hello World!"

var speed = 80

var basecolor = "#808080"

var textcolor = "#00ffff"

neonText()

</script>

Where the BBcode would be

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

[neon speed=80 basecolor=128,128,128 textcolor=0,255,255]Hello World![/neon]

I also want to rename the existing rainbow to gradient.

I can make the php to generate the HTML output just fine, it just how to add the tags to the BBcode that I can't do, and how to tell it what variable I'm look for, to cofirm I understant that propely.

Re: Adding New BBcode Tags

This is an unreleased MOD that I've done for the next version of IP (Though it's basically the same) and it should contain all of the examples you need - Plus put you in the right places to compare other bbCode entries that switch other params as well.

And this example adds a url option - You only want simple tags.

Re: Adding New BBcode Tags

You need to add the tag into this array: var $allowed_bbcode = array (follow what has been done for others...)

Then you need to add the IF statement into the function process_tag(&$item) adding the HTML you want to output.

That should be enough for your BBCode to work.
